Got damn intake manifold was cracked.... or a piece on it anyway. I fixed it up with high temp silicone. My friends always said I was perceptive with details & thank god for it, that was a fcking small crack.

It never ends... after putting it back together I started it then it stopped. I had a friend do it while I look under hood & I found antifreeze shooting onto the headers. The gasket is fine, but I think the bolts are stretched. Blah. I don't mind working on it, but the money is killing me. My engine looks all twisted because the passenger side is tore down to the cylinders & the drivers side still has everything up to the valve cover on.

when I put a different intake on, the coolant lines that go to the heater, from that stupid black rail that has the coolant temp sensor in it leaked where the old hoseclamps were.
check those lines, it could be the only thing that leaks coolant back there, other than a cracked head/block.

I know for a fact the coolant lines to the heater core are fine, that was the first thing I checked. The block is fine & the head is fine. The bolts should be in Thursday. I might be able to throw it back together after class. I'll let you know if that fixed my problem.
